Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales background

Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales

The hilarious exploits of a charismatic penguin and his lovable but dim-witted walrus companion as they navigate the ups and downs of learning.

Tennessee Tuxedo, a wisecracking penguin, and his friends Chumley the Walrus, Yakety Yak, and Baldy Eagle, frequently voice their discontent about life at the Megopolis Zoo to curator Stanley Livingstone, who dismisses their complaints and accuses Tennessee of stirring up rebellion among the zoo animals. With the guidance of human scientist Phineas J. Whoopee, they learn to either escape or improve their lives using simple scientific principles, which often lead to unintended consequences and backfire.
